USA Today lists 4 B1G names among 10 who can help draft stock at NFL Combine
Published:
With the NFL Scouting Combine starting Tuesday, there is a lot of conversation regarding which players can help their draft stock over the next several days.
USA Today recently put together a top 10 list of the players who can take advantage of the combine the most. That is, 10 names who can really excel and improve their draft positioning just less than two months until the 2019 NFL Draft.
Four of the players listed hailed from the B1G. Two of those names come from Ohio State and one from Michigan and Iowa each. Here’s who USA Today listed from the B1G, and where they ranked in terms of benefitting most from the combine:
- No. 1: Rashan Gary, Michigan
- No. 3: Noah Fant, Iowa
- No. 5: Nick Bosa, Ohio State
- No. 6: Parris Campbell, Ohio State
The only really surprising name on the list is Bosa, who is expected by most to be the No. 1 overall pick. But he can silence any doubt about being the best prospect in the draft with a strong showing at the combine.
Gary is thought to be a top 10 selection as well, but he can soar as high as No. 2 with a strong showing, according to NFL analyst Daniel Jeremiah.
Fant and Campbell might have the most to gain from a strong performance and could potentially be huge risers at the combine.
